Kendrick Lamar Freestyle Over "Keep It Thoro" Beat (KDot Cant Stay On Beat)

riddlerap

real shit, sounds like dude isnt even rappin to Keep It Thoro.. like he just rappin to nothing, not taking into account the beat. or maybe im just used to Prodigy over it. your thoughts? im not saying the lyrics/flow werent nice, i just think he disregarded the beat.

blackpussyeater

classic example of what the diference is between an emcee and a rapper....Kendrick Lamar is a rapper who makes good songs...duke wasn't even trying to flow on beat...an emcee can rap to any beat and stay on beat...

J-Breezy

Yeah I thought the same thing when I first heard it. It was like he disregarded the beat. Would've been better if it was just a capella

Lab Baby

Flow was just off kilter... he caught it, it was just unorthodox. Just like every verse he's written ever.

This nigga Silk da Shockered this beat.....way off beat

icecoldstew

Damn, Id hate to hear him try to do a jacking for beats.

buttuh_b

Flex so corny. And he wasn't that off-beat.

ohhhla

He trying to fit so many words in one bar, he's going off beat.

vageneral08

He's used to his fast flow he gotta learn how to slow it down and come with a good delivery

i fuck with Kendrick, and i appreciate his varied styles/flows, im just saying, this sounded a little too robotic/formulaic, not taking into account what was actually playing.

He's not that off, theres a rhyme on pretty much every snare

KingGivBiz

People are always looking for a flaw these days.

usmarin3

E40 is one of his favorite mc, who is m ore off beat than that nigga

riddlerap

P on this beat >>>> Kendrick.

antarticp

didnt listen yet but its probably a written ... formatted for a different beat ... and hes trying to kick it over this one ............. sometimes it works and sometimes it dont ..........

CeLLaR-DooR

Pusha on this beat >> Prodigy and this nigga

CeLLaR-DooR

No where near as bad I thought it'd be...

Perfect

he's not off its just unorthodoxed. Many people don't like these type of flows and would rather here a rapper use a flow that is consistent throughout where the end of the bar matches the drop every time. Which is pretty simple to do.


Me personally, IDK, I appreciate shyt like this. Brings the lyrics to the forefront. *shrugs* But if the beat/production means alot to you, it's understandable why you wouldn't like unorthodoxed flows.

Kendric doesnt have a great flow. Hes more about his lyrics and content. I cant see him being a mainstream superstar and thats fine because he will be forced to water down his style a lot.

ohhhla

One thing J. Cole is better than Kendrick in.

antarticp

what the heck flex be on lol he drink 12 red bulls folllowed up by 12 coffees double sugar lol

antarticp

side note this kid was far from off beat ...... it did get kind of shakey on the loop where the hook suppose to come in where p says I KEEP IT THORO NIGGA on the original version cause its a BREAK!! it thru it off but kendrick keeped going over it ....... for yall off beat pros his best bet was just to pause during that part and come back when the beat dropped ....

Supreme_Mind999

First of all that nigga Flex need to relax before his heart burst

2nd K Dot needs to iron out the starch in his flow..The beat be like "Wtf you doing dawg I'm right here,wtf you going?!"

I like kendrick but sometimes he be sounding like he rapping to the sound Pac Man makes when he's eating dots

nujerz84

Yelawolf and Lil B ride beat better than K Dot...(who says before he spits Let Me Catch the Beat) its not Silk Shocker bad but its not smooth and slightly off.

NothingButTheTruth

He wasn't off beat, he just has a wack flow.
